Signs that your bird maybe ill and needs avian vet attention quickly. Some signs are not
very noticeable they are the most import signs to watch for and learn because these
are early warning something is wrong. Getting a gram scale and know your birds weight
and track it at least monthly weekly is best if the bird started to lose weight its a early
sign something is not right. A gram scale is worth its weight in gold. Birds can't tell
you but they will show you if you know what to look for. A yearly vet visit is key in
keeping your bird healthy because your vet knows the history of your bird and what
you bird looks like when its healthy inside and out.
